While you're Shoveling Trash during S.C.R.A.P. jobs in Undermine (requires Renown 2 with The Cartels of Undermine) you keep looting Empty Kaja'Cola Can. You can exchange 333 of them (or later at Renown 14 one Vintage Kaja'Cola Can) for one of these Sifted Pile of Scrap containers at S.C.R.A.P. Exchange vendor Angelo Rustbin in Undermine./way #2346 25.74 38.13 Angelo Rustbin (SCRAP Exchange)You probably want to avoid opening these with your Valorstones (nearly) capped.I opened around 1000 Sifted Pile of Scrap before they massively decreased the currency farm with an overhaul of S.C.R.A.P. jobs.

They usually contain this:
- approx. 11 Valorstones + approx. 56 Gold

With a chance to include one of these as a bonus:
- Viridian Mechasaur + 15x Carved Undermine Crest
- approx. 26 Resonance Crystals
- Ringing Deeps Ingot
- Vial of Kaheti Oils
- Gloomfathom Hide
- Profaned Tinderbox
- Viridian Charmcap
- (early during testing I got Personalized Goblin S.C.R.A.P.per + 15x Carved Undermine Crest but the mount journal lists that for the Gunk-Covered Thingy which ends up in S.C.R.A.P. Scrubber Deluxe at the same vendor, so it will probably no longer appear in Sifted Pile of Scrap when the patch goes live)

You have to unlock the "Scrappy S.C.R.A.P.per I" perk by reaching Renown 2 with The Cartels of Undermine to participate in S.C.R.A.P. jobs.
There are seven locations with S.C.R.A.P. heaps in the zone, and Carlo Greasegrind always picks one to be active for players (marked with a trash bin icon on your zone map and mini-map).
When someone starts the event by talking to Carlo, players have 2 minutes to interact with the S.C.R.A.P. heap to start Shoveling Trash for up to 60 seconds repeatedly, which fills a "Trash Shoveled" bar for the event and your currency tab with Empty Kaja'Cola Can (and rarely Vintage Cans when unlocked).
Players can activate a nearby S.C.R.A.P. Bot for an ongoing job by talking to the Bot and paying a cumulative 100G. It will then start to passively shovel and help a lot with the event's progress bar when there are not many players around (and you remove all things that will interrupt it).
During testing this activity was undergoing many changes (probably to nerf the currency acquisition and prevent Idling) and recently, these were the small events we experienced during jobs:
1. Blue Circles (Good): Stand in them to catch Kaja'Cola cans that will slightly increase your contributed trash for the event's progress for 1 minute (so no need to go for them more than twice).
2. Satchels in green puddles (Worst): Will interrupt the Bot and players until removed! Players need to interact, and they better make sure not to run away (to the heap or next bag) before the channeled Searching Trash Bag cast is finished or they have to repeat and lose more time.
3. Green Circles (Bad): Pineapple drinks land on player locations and will knock them back, interrupting the shoveling. So step aside and continue shoveling.
4. Flame Patches (Bad): Will interrupt the Bot and players, so run over them to extinguish the flames.
5. Discarded Bombs (Bad): Will interrupt the Bot and players while fixating them to explode. Remove them fast with a Swift Kick.
6. Enemies (Bad): If they aggro you and interrupt your shoveling, kill them. (pet classes can send their companions and continue shoveling)
If players manage to get to 100% on the progress bar, the Gallagio Garbage Rare is supposed to spawn. (the Rare spawn is probably back to full RNG or they forgot to adjust the spawn condition down to 500 trash with the latest event changes)
When the event timer ends, participating players can loot a progress-based reward container ( 0-150 Trash = Half-Empty Bag, 151-350 Trash = Dented Crate, 351-500 Trash = Uncovered Strongbox; these will remain at their place if you forget to loot them immediately). Shortly after, another location will be chosen and shown on your map.
When players gain Renown with The Cartels of Undermine, there are passive Renown perks (e.g. unlocks for buff items from a Kaja'Cola Dispenser near the active S.C.R.A.P. heap), but they only speed up filling the event's progress bar and don't increase the amount of Kaja'Cola cans looted. Especially the buff items from the vendor are now almost pointless with the increased frequency of interrupting events and it was never the "twice as much trash" mentioned in their tooltips (maybe +25%). On top of that, the recently added blue circles provide a similar buff for free, for a full minute, and without the Renown.

Pro tip #1 for shovelers: If you stand on top of the rusted barrel to shovel, the green goop that shots out and pushes you back will not hit you, so you can go uninterrupted until one of the other events happens.

Edit:
Pro tip #2: There are S.C.R.A.P. groups on group finder. It is very helpful to roll around with a large group. The event will interrupt shoveling several times to force you to do something like kick bombs or put out fires, but these interruptions stop when the progress bar reaches ~450. If you have a group that can boost the bar to 450 very quickly, you can usually get over 1 minute of uninterrupted shoveling time as long as you stand on top of the barrel.

I have been grinding out soda cans for hours now, killed Gallagio three times and opened at least 28 bags, no mount(s) x - X

Update: days later, many hours and soda cans, 56+ ish bags of Sifted Pile of Scrapand the Personalized Goblin S.C.R.A.P.per finally dropped (about 18 of those were at lvl 6 renown) still no pet.

Comment by Krayrek

Since I've been joining raids with large groups to farm Empty Kaja'Cola Can, I enabled the Interact key to avoid manually clicking the right spot to start shoveling.
To enable this: Go to Options → Controls → Enable Interact Key (tick) → Interact With Target and set a key bind that suits you.
Then just sit on top of the trash and spam the key bind until you start shoveling.

If you've farmed a ton of this currency and want to spend it all on the Sifted Pile of Scrap, use this macro and you won't have to repeatedly hit "yes":

/run BuyMerchantItem(1,1)

Simply open the vendor window and 1 press of this macro will buy 1 item at the first index of the current vendor window.

Just incase this vendor gets its inventory updated, make sure the Sifted Pile of Scrap is still the first item!

Comment by 50Confused

I have opened 114 of these boxes and still haven't gotten the pet. I got the mount on my like 20th box or something easy.

Comment by GPANat

What do you do with this currency once you've got the mount and the pet (ps this is not a humble brag - it took me over 60 sifted piles of scrap to get these!). I've been farming scrap heaps for darkfuse rep and now have 5500 kaja cola cans with nothing to spend them on - unless I'm missing something.....please tell me I'm missing something!

Comment by Kubankhaos

Bought x11 Sifted Pile of Scrap to waste some cans, got a Ringing Deeps Ingot on the last one.

Comment by mctordek

today i purchased 52 of them got 2 minions and 3 mounts so i am guessing the drop rate is better that it used to be or i am very lucky.

Comment by NexusPro

I just opened 12.4 k worth of boxes and got none of the two items. One mount and one companion. 😢

Comment by Soilbreaker1993

If you like me farmed alot of piles, you might find this macro useful:

/run BuyMerchantItem(1,1)
/use Sifted Pile of Scrap

Comment by PayneAS

Macro to buy and open boxes quickly:

/run for i=1,GetMerchantNumItems() do local l=GetMerchantItemLink(i) if l and l:find("Sifted Pile of Scrap") then BuyMerchantItem(i, 1) end end
/stopmacro
/use Sifted Pile of Scrap
